We need to pray for Tinubu for wisdom not Babangida the man is a past story not future, he brings nothing to the table.

Didn’t they call him The Evil Genius in the past? I wonder if he still controls affairs of the country. In his state, most will look forward to the inevitable. There is no way greed will reside in his mind.

Did IBB asked you to pray for him? And pray for him about what exactly?

We should pray for someone tbat knowingly truncated democracy, effectively handed over to Abacha who set about surpressing democracy in a way never seen before in Nigeria killing and jailing people left, right and centre.

Pray for someone that refused to tell us why he truncated democracy. No thanks.

I don't know whether you were politically aware during the time of IBB. If you were, you will agree with me that he was a million times better than the bundle of embarrassments that you guys support and praise as Nigerias president today. He was the one who kicked out buhari for his incompetence as a president, people like you brought that calamity back through APC. Just Look at the country and what it has become ever since, and tell me why the whole citizens of this country shouldn't be praying and thanking babangida for putting his life on the line to save all of us from that iniquitous character from Daurra who midwifed the presidency of the current drug barron in power..

Who maintained a good exchange rate?

I think he met the black market exchange rate at around $1-N4

On the day he stepped aside, it was $1-N37.50

I priced dollar on that very day at CMS, just opposite First Bank HQ.

Buhari had the second worst performance. The present exchange rate of 1,500 has more to do with Buhari than Tinubu.

First off, I am not APC.

No one voted IBB when he took over power. The one that was voted for, he annuled elections without saying why. I can only imagine how much you will hate him if it was an election that Peter Obi "clearly" won and IBB happened to him. You think IBB would have annuled the elections if the Northerner had won?

He brought in SAP which caused widespread hunger and suffering the land.

By the way, it was him that did a coup to bring Buhari into power.

I am not sure how old you were when IBB was ruling as you eulogising him suggests you don't realise the absolutely hopeless and cunning character he was.

What next, we start hailing Abacha too?
